Weird....my wife is a normal s3 but my kid is a k228. Last time there was a goofy number next to my kid the travel center tried to whack me with a $100 fine. THEY were the ones who screwed up and it took me two days to get in touch with a human and one month to get my money back.

I'm thinking they'll use the pull the band aid off the scab all at once method so that even though it will hurt, it's not drawn out.
However, with the training pipelines backed up on the 320 and ER, they may elect to only bump a little at a time so they aren't left in a situation where they need to keep some of the 9s a little longer and don't have anyone left to fly them.
So, I think they'll put the whole thing on the 365 day bid that is rumored to be out in May.

In the past when the company has issued a 365 day bid, how long would it typically take for a very junior pilot to go to training on the airbus? And if they do a 365 day bid, when is the soonest they could put out another bid? I'm am considering bidding new equipment sometime within the next year, but wouldn't want to actually have to go back into training till at least September. Just curious what people would suggest.

Ha! That would be funny. He's only 7 so I guess he would qualify as a Republic pilot. Leg one today had the funky code but leg two he's a normal s3, same as the wifey. Last time this happened I found out there were two ppr numbers in the system for him. When me merged the north system had one ppr number while the south had the correct number in the system. Every trip to grandma's house cost $100 in fines. Eventually it was fixed. Don't know where the k228 number comes from though. Oh well, I guess I'll find out on the next paycheck. Hope my wife drinks lots of booze on this leg.....777 business class baby!!!

Do you want a reliable GPS signal or blazing 4G data speeds? According to a pair of engineers at Garmin International, you might be able to get one, but not both.
Researching the expansion of new 4G networks, Scott Burgett and Bronson Hokuf performed a series of lab simulations to see if the GPS satellite band would be affected by the planned rollout of some 40,000 4G base stations on the ground. GPS satellites have been transmitting signals on the bands between 1559 and 1610 megahertz for decades, but the proposed 4G stations would be occupying a similar spectrum – in the 1525 to 1559 MHz range.
During their tests, Burgett and Hokuf discovered that the overlap has the potential to seriously compromise GPS reception that "will result in widespread, severe GPS jamming [and] will deny GPS service over vast areas of the United States."
